Mamelodi Sundowns FC's Peter Shalulile has left the club after six years, seeking a new challenge.

What happened?

The Namibian striker's decision comes after a season where he found regular game time hard to come by due to injuries and the arrival of Bryan León. Shalulile scored 107 goals in 228 appearances for Mamelodi Sundowns FC and departs as the Premier Soccer League's all-time leading goalscorer with 132 goals.

Why it matters for Mamelodi Sundowns FC

As Mamelodi Sundowns FC stands 2nd in Premier Soccer League with 68 points, 20W-8D-2L from 30 games, and a recent form of LWDWW, Shalulile's departure may impact the team's title chances, with the club trailing Orlando Pirates by one point. The team has scored 57 goals this season, conceding 21, resulting in a +36 goal difference.

What comes next?

Shalulile's next destination has yet to be confirmed, but an announcement on the next chapter of his career is expected soon. With his departure, Mamelodi Sundowns FC will need to adjust their strategy to maintain their position in the league and potentially make a push for the title.
